Can't unbrick Optimus l5

Hello, I ran into a problematic brick on my L5...nothing seems to work to unbrick it.
I followed the guides step by step using the KDZ updater and the appropriate firmware for my country, but it doesn't work.
How I bricked it:
I had CM10 installed and perfectly running for a month, so today I decided to attempt an overclock to speed the device up a bit.
So, I downloaded and installed the modded kernel, flashed it using CWM and rebooted the device. After that, the device just keep booting up, showing the LG logo and then a black screen.
Now, after trying to flash the old firmware after going into download mode it just stops on the LG logo with the flare (sun ray effect) spinning around the logo all the time...It's been like that for almost 30 minutes now. I attempted re-flashing it 3 times but nothing seems to work.
What do I do?
Thank you in advance.

It's bootloop. When I had L5 I had the same problem after flashing bricked phone via KDZ.
Do hard reset with key combination. It worked for me. Phone will boot up few minutes.

nop, it's like the device is dead,

Have you tried it:
Hold together volumn (-) + home button, then turn the power on

sorry for the delay, The phone was dead so I send it to the warranty and they send it to LG and then returned working so I just had to reroot it and update it again

so there is no solution to this brick???

This is what I get when I connect the phone by USB.
I just cant get into emergency, DIAG or emergency CS
KDZ the phone connects and then I get a message afterwards PHONE NOT FOUND.
everytime I install the drivers by LG support tool, it keeps giving me the option to install the driver, like I havent done it a hundred times over.
I think there should be a driver somewhere that can be installed but the only people that have this driver are LG tech's. So they can bill you after
send the phone in cause you rooted it. So the one billion dollar question is witch hero will find a way to unbrick this device. We only need a way
to get a driver to install and we are home free. Or maybe the only other option is throwing the phone for sale on internet for spare parts
HELP PLEASE HELP find a way to unbrick this phone. Believe me I flashed and bricked alot of different phones and there was a way out but in
with this phone it seems impossible!!
And there is no mode to put it in in because te volume buttons don't do crap, the home button also, the only time that the phone does show up is when windows tells me it has an unknown device that I for the love of god can't find a driver for. I tried SDK, the LG drivers, but no dice

Did you try emergency mode? (volume up + volume down + power button)
If not, see if you can enter it and then flashing your stock firmware with Software update [KDZ] 1.0.4.4 (KDZ-Flasher).

Fixed fully bricked phone LG G2 d802 32GB

Lg g2 D802 32GB
Got my phone bricked once when trying to install lollipop rom.
After successfuly restoring it and getting the 16GB error and fixing it I restored to stock 4.2.2 and in recovery accidently installed the KK bootloader and rebooted instead of installing the rom.
No download mode.
No recovery.
First phone booted and then the screen turned off and was only sounds (Booting in, connecting to pc, etc.)
Now nothing.
the only thing I managed to enter is the Hard button mode....
I tried every forum,thread,files,method mentioned exept the "Open the phone to pieces and tinker with it" method mentioned here somewhere.
If there is some hope for me before going to a repair shop and hopefully someone there smarter than me and can actually fix it... would really appreceate every advice you might have on the matter.
Thank you.
I here by declare the LG g2 D802 32GB UNbrickable
What I did to fix it.
Some of it I dont understand...
My specs:
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Ubuntu 64bit on Vmware
lg g2 drivers(mixed, I had pdanet drivers, adb drivers so not sure which)
What i did:
1- adb devices on windows
Seen what I have in the picture
adb reboot recovery/bootloader/reboot/fastboot
Until I saw some writings and phone entered this state:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
Using this files:
(because its a 32GB variant) in ubuntu I did the instructions
http://www.mediafire.com/download/3qyac22qat2aucj/D802_20B32GB.zip
then unplugged phone
Fully power off
Hold volume up button

Stay calm buddy, LG G2 is unbrickable, I had the same problem, I thought that I have bricked it, but fix was simple, I had only download mode, but KDZ restore stucked, what I did was just wait some time, cause LG flash tool has some problems with loading files, it just takes some time, so load it from your folder(kdz) , then wait some time and after that just start it, then you have to be patient cause it takes some time, I experienced some errors too, so just dont unplug it and wait, relax, it works
I have D802 32gb czech version
I flashed v30a Italy version and it works
just flash the right version

does the phone being recognized in windows when you start adb and using adb devices command?
you can use this to install ADB and run it from CMD in windows:

No it doesn't, i have ADB, i know how to use it, i already saved one D800 that was in Fastboot.
Problem is, i used the debrick method, i succeeded, but now the device is recognized as LG but the screen stays black. It's acting a bit weird, it flashes with LG FLASH TOOL, although i believe it's not even in Download mode, but the screen keeps staying black.

Stuck at logo

Mode download doesn't work

Hello,
I want upgrade my LG G2 with a new rom 5.xX
This phone have only the operator update. No custom, no trwp, nothing...
I installed drivers and when i want access to download mode. I can't. I use the good proccess with vol up then plug usb cable always with vol up presses.
follow this procces after a little moment my phone show me battery logo charging.
So i can't access to download mode.
I would use this process
t was NOT bricked. I finally tried playing around with the LG Mobile Support Tool (B2CAppSetup.exe). Of course it detected that my phone already had the latest firmware from T-Mobile, but then I clicked Options>Upgrade Recovery.
It downloaded for a while then I noticed it had put my phone into download mode (it said "Rooted" in red letters at the bottom). Then it flashed the same firmware over and I immediately tested, it entered download mode right away. But I didn't end up needing that as Stumproot was able to brute force it now after the recovery flash.
Anyway, I couldn't find an answer anywhere else. Most results also have a bricked phone, but that wasn't my issue. This solved my problem and maybe it could work for others.
but it's impossible for me to install B2appsetup on my pc the installation begin then stop after 5s then nothing.
I have Win 10.
Do you have a solution for me , please??

Black screen, no DL mode, no boot, just a brick - device without root

Hello guys!
Unfortunately I have managed to full brick my phone which has worked without any issues for more then 3 years.
My story:
1. Phone started to have random restarts, basicaly, when phone lagged little bit - it restarted phone.
2. When I did manual restart, I got into bootloop and could not get out
3. With a heavy heart I did a factory reset. - Problem with random restarts ontinued together with random bootloops.
4. Did maybe 5 more factory resets, nothing happened.
5. Found a tutorial to flash new firmware.I was on 5.0.2 D802 30d so I used same. (PC suite could not find my phone and LG support tool always freezed on SW install)
6. I used LG Flash tool with normal flash. - used *.kdz which I have downloaded via LG support tool - checked size with dl from source from xda and they were same so i used it.)
7. All success, but device keep restarting - i think no bootloop anymore.
8. I did full flash again with LG flash tool so have a clean install and hopefully fix everything.
9. Suddenly mid-install my phone auto-disconnected from laptop and even with Retry attemps I wasnt able to get it running again. Then my phone restarted itself and that was it.
Now I cannot go to recovery mode, I cannot go to Download mode, all I see is black screen (turns some light on little bit underneath but no data visible).
Also when connect to my Windows 10 laptop multiple discs trying to load and trying to format disk. (one of them contains folder image with some files inside).
I dont have root, I dont have any other tools installed on my phone, just a normal user.
I tried to download adb but i dont understand it much, and also it cannot find my device.
Is there any way how to still fix my phone or is it completely lost
If so, I please you for a dummies step-by-step list .
Thank you so much in advance. :crying:

So good news,
I managed to load img back with dd application.
My Download mode together with factory reset is working.
I have tried to flash it with LGUP and even with some accused usb disconnections I probably managed to flash new lollipop to my phone.
Now it is optimalizing apps to load android correctly. Only issue I have is low battery, it always drains it too quickly so it cannot load properly.
Any idea how to charge the battery? Every time I connect phone with usb cable it starts up into boot, possible bootloop (cannot say if it is because of low battery or real bootloop)
Thanks

Dude try to install crdroid 7.1.2 nougat rom of d802 this will fix your battery problem
root it and install TWRP with srktools 2.0
this is best way to root G2 5.0.1 lolipop
you can also use LG One Click Root to obtain root then don't update su binary and install Autorec of you model to get twrp

LG G6 H870 Stuck in Firmware Update

After installing an unofficial build of Pixel Experience and having some issues with it i decided to flash my G6 back to firmware, but when tried doing it with LG UP i kept giving me Error messages about DLL's not matching each time i did it and it was weird to me cause i flashed it to firmware before with all the same files and it worked just fine, i tried LG Bridge but it won't install as it's stopping at 14%, my G6 is now on the Frimware Update screen, when i reboot it by pressing Volume Down + Power Button it shows the G6 Logo and boots straight back into Firmware Update, any ideas what im supposed to do at this point?

Have you fixed the phone ? If not I can provide you tommorow with the exact files you need to get your device working, but mainly you need for lg up the lg v40 dll so your device can be recognized and then you need a kdz file ( stock software ) that you care going to flash on your device.

Get the dev patched LG UP from this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76510671&postcount=168
and get the KDZ firmware specific or compatible to your phone from the lg firmwares website (just google it for the website link). You should still be able to enter download mode. Start LG UP on your PC and connect USB cable to the phone. then restart the phone by holding vol-down and power buttons, once the phone screen flickers and it starts restarting, let go of power and vol-down buttons and hold the vol-up button. You should now be back in download mode. Good luck.

This error is probably due to older dll, you are still using the older LG UP still installed on your computer. Remember, to use the Dev patched LG UP, you just unzip the file you downloaded and go inside the folder and doubleclick on the LGUPD.exe to start it.
If that doesn't work, need more information:
Did you uninstall all LG UP before installing Dev patched LG UP? Make sure you uninstall all LG UP from your PC and then use the Dev patched LG UP directly from the downloaded folder. Make sure you reboot the computer afterwards before trying. Try different USB cable if you have one. Try different USB port on the computer.
Make sure you are opening/using the LG UP you just downloaded. Which option did you pick in LG UP? Try Partition DL or Refurbish, both options if either works? Do not try any options that you don't know about, some options can delete everything on phone including IMEI information so don't try options such as chip erase.
What is your phone's model number and which kdz are you using? Does 0x2000 error give any more information on the popup?
If none of this works, post back here.

I've tried the provided dev lg up on a whole different pc, and that's the error im getting so im 100% sure it's not due to an older lgup, in the error message it shows that it's some kind of dll problem and i should install a new package .msi, i've tried different cables, ports, i did Partition DL & Refurbish, got 0x2000 both times
